WTB Jimmy or Blazer project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

masterbeavis · 12-03-2006, 02:09 PM

Looking for a project truck. It is going to be for a freind of mine, and I don't want to fix rust. (You will not see it on the board or C/L being sold or parted out)
The blazer or Jimmy:
need not run
need not roll
need not have a title (but prefered)
back fees out the wazoo OK

Needs to NOT be a rust bucket
Needs to NOT have bondo
Needs to NOT to be stripped within an inch of its life.
Needs to NOT be catastrophically wrecked (no rollovers, or trees falling on it.)
I will consider anything, the tub is the most important part. Needs to be within an hour or two of the Sacramento area. Please, if you don't have anything to offer, please don't post in the thread.

Thank you

anyone?

That's a pretty tall order. Rust is a huge issue with most of these trucks. Most of the rust-free rigs have been snagged, although they can still be found if you are patient. Keep an eye in your area down to AZ & TX for the best luck finding one without rust.

What's your buddy's budget anyway?

I am looking for something I can drive to and inspect, hence the 2 hr radius of Sac. I am willing to drive a little further, but not much. This is cali, I have turned down nicer rigs, now I want one, so they wont be as easy to find. 1K is my budget. With my criteria, I should have an easy time finding a suitable project. I have turned up a lead, I will inspect tommorow.

All it really needs is a good tub, a frame, and the interior.

Craigslist is probably one of your best resources.

Let us know if the lead turns out.

Craigslist is where I found this lead. Crazedlist.org is a great tool for craigslist surfers.

I have one and I PM'd you. It is a running driving 4X4 w454/4-speed. LMK It is out of AZ so rust is not an issue!
